Books with title All Alone in the Universe

"Before last summer Maureen and I were best friends....At least I think we were. I don't know what happened exactly. As some people who get hit by trucks sometimes say,'I didn't see anything coming.'" When her best friend since the third grade starts acting as though Debbie doesn't exist, Debbie finds out the hard way that life can be a lonesome place. But in the end the heroine of this wryly funny coming-of-age story--a girl who lives in a house covered with stuff that is supposed to look like bricks but is just a fake brick pattern--discovers that even the hourly tragedies of junior high school can have silver linings, just as a house covered with Insul-Brick can protect a real home. This first novel shines--fun, engrossing, bittersweet, and wonderfully unpredictable.

For thousands of years,humanity has looked into the night sky and wondered: who is out there? Now you have a chance to travel into that night sky, to go beyond wondering and experience for yourself the reality and spirituality of life beyond our world. This book is a window into the living story of our universe; the realities of trade, travel and conflict in space; the birth and death of civilizations across the stars and the greater plan and purpose of a Creator who oversees the spiritual progress of life in all galaxies. Enter a universe that is alive with danger, mystery, relationship and purpose. Explore the unfolding narrative of life in our own region of space and learn about the struggle for freedom now occurring beyond the borders of our solar system. Received by Marshall Vian Summers in a state of revelation, this book reveals what life is really like in the Universe, something human science and speculation may never fully uncover. Much more than a book, LIFE IN THE UNIVERSE is an open doorway to a greater human experience. Unfolding before you page-by-page is a story and a vision of the living cosmos, the complexity of interactions between worlds and the future that await us as we enter this larger arena of life. Go beyond the limits of a purely human vantage point and immerse yourself in this "Greater Community," a vast universe of intelligent life that has always called to you.

Children have so much untapped potential, and it is a joy to see it unfold! When they have higher self-esteem and self-confidence it empowers them; affirmations are just a great way to achieve that. A-Z, the Universe in Me is a collection of short poems, affirmations composed especially for children to hear and enjoy, to sing and repeat. Written in an easy-to-recite style and drawing parallels from nature, the simple poems focus on the fact that all qualities from A-Z in the universe are present in every child. The poems should be read out aloud enthusiastically to kids by parents, grandparents, or teachers. Affirmations can be powerful when the words "I am" are emphasized. Encourage your children to use them often, e.g., "I am kind", or "I am grateful". Affirmations work best when emotionalized and repeated daily. Singing and reciting the poems are fun ways to evoke emotion, which is very important to make affirmations effective. Children learn by observation and imitation; parents are powerful role models who can influence children if they habitually indulge in positive self-talk themselves. If parents use constructive language that reflects self-confidence, love, trust, and abundance, it’s the best gift they can give their kids in order to counteract the negative and self-limiting thoughts that children face every day. Affirmations, combined with positive emotions, are a powerful way to help us and our children manifest a joyful life.
